title: [The trial of the domiciliary nutrition support team in which a home medical care office offers].
abstract: The function of home care support by a medical office is to offer the best medical care for the patient. It is essential that the medical office is capable of taking a call 24-hour a day and 365-day a year from a patient who needs help at home. Our medical office was specialized in home care treatment. Furthermore, we offer a home rehabilitation or a home nutrition education to the patient. On the other hand, a nutritional support is important as well as medical supports. To offer a high quality medical care at home, we created a nutrient support system in our hospital, and formed an at-home nutrition support team(at-home NST). The team is consisted of a medical staff and dietitian, a physical therapist and a speech therapist. As a result of the at-home NST, We improved the followings: (1) we were able to collect a nutritional data basis including a patient 's height and weight, (2) we made a good use of patient's eating habit at home during the medical treatment, and (3) we could make a good use of medical service to a home care patient by managing the information accumulated by nutritional surveillance. In multidisciplinary collaboration, at-home NST can grasp a versatility status of the patient positively. We continue to offer a medical care that is demanded from a home care patient because the activity of the at-home NST raises a quality of medical service we provide.
